Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 353 "Killing Two Birds with One Stone," I Want Them All
Kindred seemed not to hear Asha's stern questioning.

He slowly retracted his longbow, swung his right hand forward, and traced an arc with his left.

Then, the space behind him was quietly torn open like a curtain, revealing a vast, deep realm completely different from the real world—his Death God Space.

The space inside was a play of light and shadow, seemingly containing endless cycles of life and death, exuding a majestic and deathly stillness that sent shivers down one's spine.

Meanwhile, the battlefield in the icy valley below had fallen completely silent.

The elite mage group that Su Lu brought had been completely wiped out by Uriel and Raguel, who had become ferrymen; not a single one survived.

The once-bustling magical energy has been replaced by death, leaving only cold, lifeless bodies lying in the snow.

The wolf spirit let out a deep, satisfied howl, and an invisible force spread out.

On the battlefield, the souls of the mages who had just passed away, as well as the enormous dragon souls of Su Lu and the Black Dragon Emperor that had been forcibly separated, all transformed into spheres of light that shimmered with different luster and intensity, drifting towards the unfolding Death God Space.

Like all rivers flowing into the sea, they converge into that eternal land.

Asha'ruya watched helplessly as Austin's massive dragon soul was also devoured. She instinctively took a step forward, raising her slender hand slightly, as if trying to do something to stop it, but a deep sense of powerlessness instantly gripped her.

She clearly sensed that the death god's power permeating the air, which controlled the life and death of souls, was far beyond her current understanding and even comprehension.

This was not the domain and power of an ordinary emperor; at this moment, she was merely a helpless bystander.

She could only watch as those points of light representing vibrant souls orderly disappeared into the gray and white entrance to the Grim Reaper's Space.

At this moment, Yang Ling's elegant figure moved slightly and silently arrived beside Asha'ruya.

He gently grasped Asha's wrist. Before Asha could react, she felt her body lighten as the sheep spirit lifted her up gracefully, suspending her high in the air and giving her a panoramic view of the Death Realm.

Looking down from this unprecedented height, after being "nourished" and baptized by the massive number of powerful souls on the European battlefield, Kindred's Death Realm has undergone earth-shattering changes, its appearance far surpassing that of the past.

Inside the space, the starlight river that runs through the entire space and guides all souls to their final resting place has become even wider, more dazzling, more magnificent and mysterious, yet it also exudes a cold sense of impending doom.

The black and white forces within the space became increasingly distinct, cleverly divided into several different areas. Each area contained a vast number of soul orbs of light of various shapes and sizes, including human mages, powerful demons, and European angels...

As Asharuya witnessed this scene, her red lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with indescribable shock.

The impact of this scene even surpassed that of the first time she saw the dark dimension with distorted space.

This is the most direct and orderly display of the end of life; it is beautiful, yet extremely cruel.

Only then did Qianjue's ethereal and indifferent voice ring out again.

This can be seen as a response to her earlier question:

"When have I ever broken my promise?" Yang Ling turned to Asha'ruya, his face devoid of any emotion. "Our deal is to exchange your soul for the life of the Black Dragon. I have not yet taken your soul, so this half of the deal is not yet complete. Therefore, I naturally do not need to immediately fulfill the other half of the deal—the life of the Black Dragon."

"You?!" Asha Ruya was furious, never expecting the other party to respond with such logic.

"Don't worry." "My interest in you, the adopted daughter favored by the Dark King, and the unique soul of a fallen angel, far outweighs that of that black dragon with only brute force."

"When the time is right, and I truly take your soul, I will keep my promise and let the black dragon be reborn and leave."

“Reborn? He’s already dead! You’ve taken his soul, how could you…” Asha’s Ruya retorted urgently, but halfway through her sentence, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, combining the rumors in Europe with Wen Tai’s speculation.

She instantly realized, exclaiming, "You...you really are with that Star Goddess who can resurrect the Golden Titan! You both possess the ability to resurrect emperors!"

Qianjue did not deny it directly, but continued in that calm tone: "You are still too weak right now."

"Such a soul is certainly special, but its value has not yet reached its peak. To me, the soul lies in 'quality' rather than quantity. I hope that when it comes time to truly fulfill the deal, your strength will have improved, and that... will make it even more perfect."

Upon hearing these words, Asha'ruya was momentarily at a loss for words.

Anger, helplessness, and a sense of humiliation at being treated as a "collectible to grow" were intertwined.

She didn't know that what Qianjue said at that moment was not false, but it also concealed crucial information.

Azharia's soul has been imbued with a powerful protective technique by the Dark King Ventae, and Kindred's current power is insufficient to forcibly break through this protection and seize her soul.

He needs the Spirit Pact, built on Asha's "voluntary" foundation, to continue to grow and infiltrate until it is enough to dismantle that layer of dark protection.

This was the fundamental reason why he guided Asha's into this deal.

As for the Black Dragon Emperor Austin, Kindred never intended to let him go from the very beginning.

This powerful dragon remained extremely loyal to Wen Tai, which was something Kindred could not tolerate.

He planned to use the power of the Death God's Law within that Death God's Space to slowly refine and erase the Black Dragon's loyalty to Wen Tai, making it like the angel before it.

In this way, when the time is right, Soraka will be asked to revive him.

At that time, the reborn Black Dragon Emperor will no longer be Wen Tai's old subordinate, but a powerful war machine loyal only to Kindred and Soraka!

Kindred's deep concern for the Black Dragon Emperor Austin is naturally the result of a far-reaching scheme.

The fundamental reason is that it is not an ordinary emperor; it is one of the few "true dragons" on Earth that possess the purest bloodline!
Today, on Earth, in regions such as England in Europe, Northern Europe, and certain hidden mountain ranges in Asia, there are still many subspecies of dragons, including flying dragons, earth dragons, and wyverns.

After the Void Queen Bervis took control of Europe, she was able to use her absolute power to slaughter these dragon subspecies.

However, for a ruler aiming for a wider world, such pointless destruction is unnecessary and a waste of resources.

If the Black Dragon Emperor could be subdued, with the overwhelming power of his "True Dragon" bloodline over all dragon subspecies, he would be able to command, recruit, and integrate all dragon creatures scattered throughout Europe and the world without shedding a drop of blood!
Controlling the Black Dragon Emperor is equivalent to controlling a large area of ​​subspecies dragons on Blue Star.

This deal is far more worthwhile than simply eliminating an enemy.
